"Manchester Graffito" Artwork - Limited Edition of 50

Andy Mercer blurs the boundaries between graphic and 'traditional' art. Full of fabulous contrasts and contradictions, he enjoys the textures and imagery surrounding us on the streets: rusting metals, graffiti, rough concrete, street signs, torn weather swept posters and billboards, peeling and fading, revealing layers that create entirely new images; unplanned and unpredicted the raw material of our recycled, re-used re-invented world. Mercer's layers of line, shape, colour, graffiti, and personal mark-making are crafted into an atmospheric patchwork of urban life. He enjoys building complex realities rich in the patterns and rhythms of suburbia. They evolve as naturally as a Klee, constantly changing and giving us an organic picture that weaves the fabric of society into his work. Like all artists, the social commentator is prevalent in his work with powerful messages and radical thoughts. Andy enjoys exhibiting his work in non-art locations, which include the large freeway illuminated display boards across the USA. "I'm always on the look out for an interesting new project. If you have one get in touch."
